django-phpBB3 0.1.5

Django-phpBB3

Django-phpBB3 provides the database models of a existing phpBB3 installation. This is usefull for all people who like to access the phpbb forum database from a django application.
It’s not a phpBB clone or a forum!

Django-phpBB3 has also a script for migrate a phpBB3 forum into a DjangoBB forum. See below.

Warning:
Write access to the original phpBB database is not tested, yet. So it’s not guaranteed that changes trough the django admin will work with phpBB3!
So in the current state, access ‘read-only’ to the data ;)

Patches are welcome! Please send pull requests.

example projects

We add two example projects:

`django_phpBB3_project`_

minimal project without extra depencies

`phpBB2DjangoBB_project`_

DjangoBB example project which include the phpBB2DjangoBB migration command

test django-phpBB3

Create a local_settings.py in /django_phpBB3_project/
At least you must setup DATABASES, e.g:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'phpbb3', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
'USER': 'phpbb3', # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': 'foo bar', # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
}

migrate a phpBB3 installation to DjangoBB

To run the migration you can use the minimal phpBB2DjangoBB example project example.
This project includes the DjangoBB forum app and django-phpBB3 app. Before start, you must install the dependencies!
